God’s Dance Party at Sears!

February 6, 2010 at 2:27 pm (Uncategorized)

So God has built a mall.  He took me, left me in the food court, and gave me a survival pack.  He said, “here is a map that comes with directions for what to do, a walkie talkie to get a hold of me if you need help or even just a little company, a bottle of strength that never runs out, and everything else you will ever need for your mission. I am having a party at Sears in the coat section, so i want you to come and meet me there. Spread the word,  gather as much people as you can, and bring them here. We’ll all hang out and have a rockin dance party!”

So i take my map and my survival pack and set off on my mission. I know exactly what I am supposed to do, how I’m supposed to do it, and why its important for me to stick diligently to my task.  It’s all written down with specific instructions right on my map….i like to call it my Bible. Well, I’m journeying along but  i keep getting distracted. I see Pac Sun and decide to stop and buy a t-shirt. Next thing i know, it’s been days and im still wandering around the store looking at the temptations; the jeans, hats, and shirts…meanwhile, having done nothing to progress in my path that i have been called for.

This is my life. i know what to do, but sometimes i forget that i am supposed to do it.  i know i have a walkie talkie to communicate with, but sometimes i forget to use it. The thing i will never forget though, is that whenever i lose sight and get distracted, my walkie talkie will never run out of battery, and my mission will always be my mission.  God has changed me and set me down on this path with a purpose, for the last path he steered me away from was purposeless. i have my map, my bottle of strength, and my reward always and forever waiting for me at Sears, no matter how many stops I make along the way. So bring it on!!

    Oh my gosh girl…seriously! First off, you have a great gift for writing! And for making things relate to people. I will forever love this analogy…it helps me and many others I’m sure! Never doubt the depth of the things of your heart. I love seeing what God is doing in you! Keep opening your mouth and speaking…obviously what comes out is a lot better than what you think ;)
